"A Twitter user was arrested by British police Tuesday after posting threatening and abusive messages about Olympic diver Tom Daley and targeting him with a taunt about his dead father.
Police forces in Dorset, 75 miles south of London, confirmed to Yahoo! Sports that a 17-year-old had been taken into custody in relation to the incident, which followed Great Britain competitor Daley's fourth-place finish in the men's 10-meter synchronized diving event.
